Purpose: This study assesses fertility treatment outcomes in female patients who had undergone successful oocyte retrieval following cancer therapy.
Methods: Between January 2020 and December 2022, we collected fertility treatment data from six participating centres in Spain and Germany. All patients associated with this data had undergone successful oocyte retrieval following cancer treatment.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the use of creative therapies, like painting and writing, in treating diseases such as cancer, noting a lack of systematic scientific research in this area.
- - An anonymous survey involving 718 participants revealed that 91.2% had sought creative therapies, with a notable interest in creative writing, and indicated a desire for these activities to be part of their treatment plans.
- - The findings suggest that integrating creative therapies into medical care could enhance patient outcomes and emphasize the need for structured support in medical settings to promote these innovative approaches.
A possible negative consequence of cancer treatment is the fertility impairment of young cancer survivors. However, most former patients express the wish to have biological children. Fertility-preserving measures are available and are - under certain circumstances - financed by health insurance.

The latter approach is a non-established concept needing both modern radiation therapy approaches as well as modifications -if at all possible- in current recommendations for target volume delineation to spare dose to the unaffected uterus. Future strategies to serve selected patients in this respect should only be conducted in prospective clinical evaluations and are critically discussed in this article.
